Professional Statement

As a member of the medical genetics team at Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh and a certified and licensed genetic counselor, I dedicate myself to providing the best level of patient care. It is so important to me to provide my patients with a greater understanding of genetic conditions affecting them and their families, as well as providing exceptional support and resources. As the Student Supervisor for rotating second year genetic counseling students from the university of Pittsburgh, I also have the opportunity to assist these students in learning to provide the best possible care and succeeding in the genetic counselling profession. I have longstanding experience with pediatric and cancer genetics, as well as specific interests in metabolic and psychiatric genetics.
